Heritage Auctions that was held from 7th to 10th July along with the summer Florida United Numismatists convention in Orlando, fetched a total sum of $6,583,780. A 1915-S Panama Pacific International Exposition round gold $50 commemorative coin graded Mint State 64 by Numismatic Guaranty Corp. was sold for an impressive $88,125. This was the 10th year of the FUN’s summer show which is smaller than its annual show. Next year’s winter FUN show will take place from 5th to 8th January at Fort Lauderdale.

A group of Trade dollars were also offered at the auction. A 1878-S silver dollar graded Mint State 66 by Professional Coin Grading Service with a green Certified Acceptance Corp. sticker was sold for $30,550. The trade dollar is beautifully toned and hence is special even though it features a common date within the series.

The same coin was sold last year for $28,200.
